THOMAS KING, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO THE GREENE 8a KNOX MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

EYEGLASS-HOLDER.

kECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 520,024, dated May 15, 1894.

Application filed May 10, 1893- improved construction and arrangement of parts, whereby the holder may be readily fastened to the garment, as hereinafter fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings:-Fignre'l.

. represents a front view, showing the pivoted arm of the holder in its unlocked position. Fig. 2. shows the same with the pivoted arm in its locked position. Fig. 3. represents an edge view. Fig. 4. represents a back view.

Fig. 5. is a perspective view, showing the method of attaching the holder to the garment. Fig. 6. represents an edge view showing a modification.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the hook-bar, to the back of which is attached the bent spur b, and to the hook bar A at the point d, is pivoted the arm B, provided with the clasp e which is adapted to receive the hook-bar A, and with the bent spur f. The arm B is also provided with the perforation g, adapted to receive the chain or cord 72., for attachment to the eye-glass.

In attaching my improved holder to the garment, I first insert the bent spur f of the opened arm B, into the garment C, and theninsert the bent spur b of the hook-bar A,as

Serial No. 73,743- (No model.)

shown in Fig. 5. Then by swinging the hookbar A, into engagement with the clasp e, as shown in Fig. 2, the attachment will be completed, and the holder will be securely fastened to the garment.

A modification is shown in Fig. 6, in which the parts are retained in looking engagement by means of a knob '5 upon the back of the hook bar A, which enters a corresponding recessj in the side of the pivoted arm B. The hook-bar A is preferably provided with a stop 77.: which serves to limit the outward movement of the pivoted arm B, so that the arm B, will held in the proper position relatively to the hook-bar A for the insertion of the spurs in the garment.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination with the hook-bar provided with the engaging spur, of the arm pivoted to the hook bar for sidewise engaging movement along the surface of the fabric and provided with the opposite engaging spur, and the clasp means for holding the parts in their engaged position, substantially as described.

2. The combination with the hook-bar provided with the engaging spur and the limiting stop, of the arm pivoted for movement laterally of the hook-bar, and provided with the opposite engaging spur, and the clasp means for holding the parts in their engaged position, substantially as described.

I THOMAS KING.
